As we prepare to reflect on Jesus’ procession into Jerusalem at our Palm Sunday Service, we are blessed to observe the comfort of the Holy Spirit in the life, suffering, and death of Jesus.
Hebrews 9:14 NIV
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
We are also told that a Holy angel ministered to our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane:
Luke 22:39-44 NIV
Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
As we face sorrows and grief, we can rely on the comforting ministry of the Holy Spirit as Jesus did! (See 2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Be encouraged,
Pastor Rick
